I don't really get off on watching hockey fights. I enjoy a lot more the skill and speed of the game, and downright natural ability of certain players. I've never really been a 'team guy'. But there are fans, who tune in every game and wait and hope for those scraps and rivalries....so I guess it has a role for them, and the game.

What I would fear if they removed fighting, is that it is a slippery slope that would have the do gooder crowd looking where to cross the next line with it. And that it would eventually take away a big part of the game, which is the physical aspect as soon we'd be focusing more on hits etc etc.

The pansification thingy is ridiculous.

Don Cherry is like some sort of funny clown train accident. I get embarrassed as a Canadian watching him with some of the things he will say..while at the same time laughing.
